They finally decided to share information after Putra dared to open up to Clarissa. After all, there would be a lot he could gain from this girl in front of him, although he would also have to share some appropriate information. Putra wanted to know a lot about who had been caught and who was still alive. That was quite important because Hindia's earlier announcements must have been heard by his comrades, and he ... obviously had to do something so they could all get back together and fight back.
"Was there a riot last year when we were dragged into Yamani?" Putra asked Clarissa.
He asked Clarissa as he recalled what Hindia had said in the announcement. Honestly, he didn't know anything about the riot. His memory of all of that was quite chaotic; furthermore, he had also fainted for quite a while after Edwin moved him.
Putra's relationship with Jane and the other Berawa members was quite complicated when he had just moved into this world. He took quite a long time to find his comrades, and moreover ... Jane was never to be spoken to again, and it was very difficult to find Arta.
"Where were you during the riot?"
"With Edwin, but I was unconscious for quite a while. So I don't know what's going on outside the dimension he created. Also when I came out of the dimension that Edwin created, there were no traces of rioting around me at all, so I didn't know about it at all."
Clarissa nodded, understanding Putra's explanation, a little grateful that he finally wanted her to cooperate. "The riots were quite terrible. Candrasa, who rarely even rose to the upper layers, really had to intervene to control the residents." She then glanced at Putra, who had just finished drying his clothes, "I see why you don't know. The riot was really terrible, but they solved it quickly and fixed everything in less than a day. Maybe that's also why you didn't know there was a riot after leaving Edwin's dimension."
"I thought they had transferred all the creatures of the earth here after us. It turns out to be just people in Nusantara?" asked Putra subconsciously.
"Do you know who created the earth and its contents?" Clarissa asked back. He looked at her in disbelief. "Queen, pal. The one who created the world where humans live is The Queen. Before that, you guys lived on the same land as us. Two years ago, in 1818, humans were transferred because of an oath and lived in the universe that The Queen created, without us being able to enjoy it again, on various conditions—"
"Two years?! My boss said we were transported to Earth about 200 years ago. What do you mean two years?"
"Oh, I forgot." Clarissa chuckled lightly, seeing Putra's confusion, "One year here is equal to 100 years on earth. Therefore, everything seems so long to you, but very short for us. Most likely, on Earth, it is now 2120, while here it is 1821."
Putra fell silent upon hearing this. He knew enough about the rest. After all, since the big war in Bali back then, everyone had forgotten about them, so there was no point in asking more. He only thought that maybe all humans were transferred to this place in no less than a month, so he tried various ways to get out of this place right after he woke up from his stupor.
But all to no avail.
In fact, the Candrasa took quite a long time to prepare to open the gates connected to Earth. He thought he had failed all this time until the end, but in fact, he still had a chance to defend Earth.
"By the way, you're a journalist, aren't you?" he asked, and Clarissa nodded in return. "Do you know how many Berawa members have been caught?"
"Almost all of them," Clarissa replied, casually. "I didn't catch it because my focus has been on Dirga. The majority of them are dead."
"Who's still alive besides me?"
Clarissa glanced at Putra briefly before replying to the question, "Arta, Jane, Dirga, Edwin, and Kintan."
Putra fell silent upon hearing the information Clarissa shared. That means almost all of the elite of Berawa have been caught and can no longer be saved. He had lost countless allies.
"So are you looking for me or Jane and Arta because you think Dirga is with us?" asked Putra, ignoring his own feelings and choosing to ask more for the sake of more information.
Clarissa nodded slowly, "Earlier I had a chance to meet Arta in The Gray Mist because I guess he was after a Candrasa. He destroyed a banyan tree that tied the corpses of his friends, but when I asked about Dirga, he said he didn't recognize the name. He fled quickly, without the slightest trace. I thought you guys were really close, but there seems to be a problem huh?"
"During the war, Arta killed our comrades." Putra opened his voice slowly, "I don't know the reason. I also don't understand why he seems to keep his distance from all of us. But what is clear is that he was indeed after one of Candrasa's members, the person who had just appeared to make the announcement, Hindiana Putri."
Clarissa didn't ask more about it. It felt like Putra was holding onto something that hurt him when he talked about it. Maybe because of the previous reason, maybe the figure that Arta killed was indeed someone who meant a lot to all of them.
Their discussion, in the end, centered on Kintan. Putra knows where Kintan is because that girl is the only person who always exchanges contact with him. Compared to the other Berawa members, Kintan is indeed the easiest to approach because she rarely thinks badly of fellow allies, much different from Jane.
But Putra can also understand why Jane has changed into the person she is now.
After all, who wouldn't be hurt to see their best friend killed by their own comrade? He still holds a grudge against Lingga for destroying Citra in front of his eyes. Jane's current actions weren't something he couldn't understand.
"We should meet again this week at L-06 to exchange news as well as information," said Putra as they walked towards the giant portal gate that would take the two of them to another layer of land. "Kintan likes to gather information about the remaining surviving members of Berawa.
She often goes around. Whereas I only circled around the three main layers of soil to keep Jane at a distance, I know she's strong, but after all, she's still human."
"So we're going to L-06 huh?" Clarissa asked for sure.
Putra nodded as he put his hat and jacket back on. Both of them had changed their clothes to disguise themselves. However, Putra would be in danger if someone saw him wandering around, while Clarissa also didn't want to be considered a traitor because she was now friends with a fugitive.
